Aramco Digital Obtains Specialized Radio Network License in 450 MHz Band from CST for Industrial Broadband Communications
The Communications, Space and Technology Commission (CST) has granted a Specialized Radio Network License in the 450 MHz band to Aramco Digital, a subsidiary of the Global Digital Integrated Solutions Company.
The license allows Aramco Digital to establish a dedicated network for industrial and business sectors, which will operate independently from mobile networks and utilize the latest global wireless technologies.
The network aims to cater to the unique communication needs of various industries and help Saudi Arabia lead in providing specialized broadband communications services.
The CST Board of Directors has approved the company's qualification for a license to facilitate digital transformation in industries such as energy, healthcare, transportation, and others.
This decision will support the implementation of technologies from the 4th industrial revolution and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The license was the result of a public competition announced by CST in March 2024.
